You know what they say, "photos or it didn't happen."

And I just finished the last of the Dunkin Donuts hazelnut......

Crap - I forgot to buy coffee Saturday. I'll have to limit myself to one cup a day until I get to Saturday.

I do not. I have several friends that have problems with certain behaviors: smoking, drug use, gambling, motorcycle riding, and anonymous sex hookups to name a few. All are able to consider past behaviors as different than current behaviors. So while they would never date someone who is currently a smoker, they would have no problems dating someone who smoked years ago. I would think that if any of them had an opposition to sex for pay, they would focus on the current and not the past behavior.

I did not know this place existed. I'm a little intrigued. Unfortunately, the one male is listed as straight.

When you say you got the last one, do you mean that last single pack, or the multi-pack option was gone as well?

Today was my first trip out since I started this thread. The Meijer store I went to was pretty well stocked. The only area that seemed sparsely inventoried was the dairy. (I didn't make it back to the paper/cleaning supply section.) Plenty of chocolate milk, soy milk, and fat-free, but not much 2%. While most types of cheese were on the shelf, I couldn't find provolone and chose swiss in its place. The meat counter was closed and all of the meats were now packaged. At the deli counter, they were still slicing meat and cheese upon request, but also had quite a bit of pre-packaged items available in a cooler. All of the salads one would typically purchase at the deli was packaged and available. And the bakery still made donuts this morning, but rather than self-serve, they were all pre-packaged.

I have debated stopping, but with a only $10 co-pay and solid test results - - I'm just not sure what to do.

I thought about it, but I'll have the credit at InnDulge to use, so having airfare to use will make scheduling it easy.

Wake up and listen to the radio for 30 minutes before getting out of bed. (usual routine.) Stumble out to kitchen to take morning meds and a glass of water. Climb back in bed for 30 minutes. Shower, brush my hair (I quit shaving, blow drying my hair, and using hair product two weeks ago), and dress casually. Log into work computer and make connection to work servers, check for any urgent emails. Make and eat breakfast. Work from 8 - 5. At 8:30 make first cup of coffee, second around 9:30. Make lunch at noon before my first of two daily COVID-19 status calls. Do BAU work and meetings. until my second daily COVID-19 status call at 4:30. Send summary email to my boss. Make and eat dinner by 6:00. (many nights I'm still in the office until 7:00, so I'm ahead of the game.) 6:30 NBC Nightly News 7:00 check on neighbors check personal email and see how you all are doing while watching TV before climbing in bed.

Last Thursday, I received an email from a neighbor suggesting that since we have several 'single' (mostly widowed) residents in the condo association of 64 units, we could all step out on front porch at 7:00 and wave at each other. Thursday evening's event went well we mostly waved hello and may have chatted across the street for about five minutes in the cold temps. The consensus was that it was fun and we should keep it up. On Friday, another neighbor suggested we should have a daily beverage we can each have to add to the sense of community. Friday's was a Manhattan since NYC had been announced as shelter in place. (That hadn't started in Ohio yet.) I missed that email, so I was stepped out without the assigned beverage. On Saturday, the temps were to be cooler so the recommended drink for the evening was cocoa and Bailey's. (I fell asleep watching TV and missed joining the neighbors.) On Sunday, since Gov. DeWine had announced the mandatory Stay at Home rules, the beverage for the evening was wine (or whine), either red or white. Since I had over 20 bottles to select from, check. I've now realized we are no longer staying on our porches and yelling. We are migrating to the street, but still keeping six feet apart (expect the couples who were cuddling to keep warm.) On Monday, there were no beverage instructions, so I and the neighbors closest to my condo all showed up without a beverage. Today, the beverage was the one everyone was waiting to enjoy - Corona with a lime. I didn't have a corona, so I conformed to the best of my ability with a gin and tonic (and lime.) The gathering stretched to 30 minutes. Looking forward to tomorrow's email with our designated beverage.

Yes, I received it as well. And then immediately cancelled my flight.

I'm guessing I can still find the Richard Simmons tapes at Mom's house.

It's your event. Call it 18 or XVIII or 2021 or 'the resurection.' I'm sure we'll still show up.

I heard on the radio this morning that gold-medal swimmer from the Rio Olympics Lilly King cannot find a pool to practice in. As a student at Indiana University, the campus was closed, including all of the athletic facilities. She was then practicing at the local Y until the governor shut down all gyms. https://www.jsonline.com/story/sports/columnist/brennan/2020/03/17/tokyo-olympics-us-swimming-champ-struggles-prepare-games/5071448002/

I am the oldest with two younger sisters.

Having worked at a grocery through high school and college, I have stepped up in other times. However, at my store yesterday, they had taped blue Xs on the floor six feet apart for the line and had a line monitor to ensure we weren't too close.

Today I went to the grocery, primarily to get bread and milk, but thought I would also restock the freezer. Some observations from my trip (the first grocery visit in 10 days.) While the number of vehicles was only slightly lower than a typical Saturday, the store itself was quiet. Not the normal hustle and bustle at the register lines and no groups at the (closed) meat counter or deli. Quality of the produce was great! The advertised specials on the shelves, contradicted the signs limiting quantities. "Buy two packages of Kraft cheese, get third free" with another sign "Because of the demand for this item, there will be a limit of 2."

I'm suspecting Linda Eder might be on your list as well.

Day Five and I'm bored enough to do that next week.

On this morning's call, someone decided that we should also do video so that we would feel more like a team. I looked down at my t-shirt and realized it was not "office appropriate" and had to do a quick change before turning on the camera.

On Sunday, I received a note that my team was to work from home on Monday. At 9:00 a.m. my boss had a call with her direct six direct reports. As folks were still dialing in, I shared that I had already uncovered a problem with the work from home arrangement. She was concerned as replied, "Oh, oh. What is it?" The team laughed out loud when I replied that the coffee maker was too close and I was already on my fourth cup of coffee compared to my limit of one cup a day. Today we were comparing what we had for afternoon snacks (guacamole for me.)

Only about 390 days away!

While I'd be disappointed if I had to cancel and InnDulge doesn't refund, I would hope that the employees are still being paid.
